Title: Improvements in or relating to electrically heated boilers
Inventor: BECKET FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: F22B1/30
Filed: 1954-12-07
Abstract: 786,206. Electrically heated boilers. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. Dec. 6, 1955 [Dec. 7, 1954], No. 35453/54. Class 39(3) A boiler shell 2 has an open end with a welded flange ring 3 to which is bolted a metal closure plate 4 having one or more sheathed wire electric immersion heaters 6 extending therethrough in fluid-tight and flame-proof manner. A tubular member 29 welded to the plate 4 has a welded flange 30 to which is bolted a terminal plate 32 thereby forming a flame-proof chamber 28. The terminal plate 32 forms one wall of a cast aluminium terminal chamber 33 closed on its outer side to form a further flame-proof compartment. Each heating element 6 is brazed in a spigotted flange 16 held against a face 18 of a stepped annular boss 17 when the flange is bolted to studs 20 around the boss 17 welded to the plate 4. Water level in the boiler is maintained by a float switch in a float chamber 8, which contains a second float switch cutting off current to the heaters if the level falls dangerously low. The closure plate 4 carries an emergency thermal control switch 14 having a pilot heating element in contact with a thermostatic tube below normal water level, so that if the level falls further, the pilot heating element causes the thermal switch 14 to cut off the heaters 6. The plate 4 also carries two pressure control switches 15 which extend into the boiler above the water level and comprise thermostats consisting of rods in tubes 21. As the boiler steam is normally wet, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. One thermostat 15 controls the heaters 6 to maintain boiler pressure constant, and the other which is of the hand-reset type, switches off the heaters 6 if excess pressure in the boiler is not released through the pressure relief valve 12. Control cables 49 pass through the outer wall of the terminal chamber 33 through cable sealing boxes 42, 43. The cables are attached to conductive rods passing through insulated bushes 35 in the plate 32 and the rods are connected by leads to the heaters and control members through two relays, one preventing energization of the heaters 6 until the control circuit is energized, and the other energizing an alarm if danger arises. A supply cable 47 for the heaters 6 has a terminal plug 48 to engage a socket 46 of a flameproof assembly on a cover plate bolted on the outer face of the chamber 33.

Title: Improvements in or relating to speed governors for injection internal combustion engines
IPC: F02D1/00
Filed: 1933-12-27
Abstract: 414,954. Regulating. BOSCH AKT.- GES., R., 4, Militõrstrasse, Stuttgart, Germany. Dec. 27, 1933, No. 36322. Convention date, Oct. 7. [Class 7 (vi).] The speed of an engine working with injection of fuel is governed automatically by means producing both a static vacuum and a dynamic vacuum in the induction pipe, the former acting chiefly at lower speeds, and the latter chiefly at higher speeds, the combined effect being transmitted to the fuel control member by means of a servomotor. The Figure shows an air-induction pipe 8 fitted with a throttle valve 9 which produces the static vacuum, and with Venturi constrictions 10, 10a which produce the dynamic vacuum, the resulting effect being transmitted by a tube 15 to a piston 24, which adjusts the timing of the fuel pump 16 by means of a rack and pinion 22, 23. In a modification, the throttle is placed on the engine side of the Venturi constrictions, and separate tubes lead from the two devices to the piston 24 through a rotary cook connected to the throttle pedal 9b. More than two Venturi constrictions may be arranged one within the other.

Title: Improvements in or relating to sliding clasp fasteners
IPC: A44B19/04
Filed: 1932-12-22
Abstract: 405,448. Sliding - clasp fastenings. FREY, S., 11, Am Park, Schoneberg, Berlin. Dec. 22, 1932, No. 36335. [Class 44.] In a sliding-clasp fastener each element engages with only one element on the opposite stringer, one set of elements having each two rounded-off claws to embrace a neck on the co-operating element of the other set. Fig. 15 shows clawed elements 4 on the stringer 7 engaging flat elements, with side notches 2 forming the neck, on the other stringer 6. The stringers are separable if the slider-retaining wedge 8 is spaced sufficiently from the lowermost elements. Fig. 17 shows clawed elements 4 on both stringers with each set of elements notched at 2 to form the neck. The disengagement in this case additionally requires a relative sidewise movement of the elements which is obtained by forming one of the slider channels with a stepped portion. Fig. 20 shows double elements of shackle form, one limb of each double element being provided with claws and the other limb being plain but necked. The shackles may co-operate only with one opposite shackle, as shown, or may co-operate with shackles above and below. The metal parts may be of aluminium and magnesium alloys and coloured by electrolytic oxidation. For sliding-clasp fasteners with inter-engaging elements of known form, the two bottom elements engage only with each other, the bottom element on one stringer having roundedoff claws to embrace a neck on the bottom element of the other stringer ; this arrangement prevents the fastener being opened from the bottom.

Abstract: 1479367 Mounting thermocouples COMITATO NAZIONALE PER L'ENERGIA NUCLEARE 19 Aug 1974 [31 Aug 1973] 36433/74 Heading H1K [Also in Division B3] Filament-like thermocouples are inserted along longitudinal grooves A, B, C, Fig. 3a, cut in the surface of a round wire 50 and the burred edges produced in the cutting sequence are bent down to enclose the thermocouples. As shown in Fig. 2, the wire 50, e.g. of stainless steel. is wound on a helically grooved drum 1 mounted on a lathe through a guide 5 which includes a stud 8 for adjusting the force on the wire as it traverses a bore 5<SP>11</SP>. The wire ends are clamped to the drum and a groove A is cut along the wire by a cutter which advances along the drum in step with the pitch of the wound wire. The wire is removed from the drum and rotated about its axis so that a blade 13, Fig. 3a, on the guide 5 locates in the furrow A to orientate the wire correctly for cutting the next groove B. After repetition according to the number of thermocouples to be mounted, the wire 50 is fed through a device 30, Fig. 4, which includes a wire guide 33 where a blade enters one of the grooves to keep it uppermost in a wire-receiving channel 39 so that a thermocouple may be inserted in the groove down a shoot (34<SP>111</SP>) (Fig. 9, not shown) on the guide 33. A hand roller (Fig. 6, not shown) is then used to bend down the burred edges over the inserted thermocouple.

Title: Apparatus for removing dung from a dung alley
IPC: A01K1/01
Filed: 1973-08-01
Abstract: 1397206 Dung remover J BOHSE 1 Aug 1973 [18 Aug 1972] 36570/73 Heading A1M A dung alley 1 and a liquid manure channel 9 connected by a slot 10 are cleared of manure by a folding pusher 3 and auger 13, 14 respectively. The rotation of the auger 13, 14 is transmitted into longitudinal motion of pusher 3 by wheels 20 engaging on the turns 13 of the auger. When pusher 3 moves in the direction b, the two pusher arms 6 extend over the width of the dung alley 1, thus clearing the dung. The rotation of the auger 13, 14 is reversed when pusher 3 reaches the end of its traverse thus returning the pusher 3 with its arms folded at an acute angle, to prevent entrainment of dung. A semi-circular guide 18, attached to the pusher 3 slides over the internal surface of tube 11 in channel 9, so enhancing free movement of pusher 3. A second embodiment has the liquid manure channel 9, and hence the auger 13, 14 positioned at the side of the dung alley, the sliding head 4 therefore having only one pusher arm 6. A modification has several folding pushers 3 spaced along the auger 13, 14.

Abstract: 412,505. Converting. AKT.-GES. BROWN, BOVERI, ET CIE, Baden, Switzerland. Dec. 29, 1933, No. 36580. Convention date, Dec. 30, 1932. [Class 38 (ii).] Relates to an arrangement employing a grid controlled discharge device V for converting 3-phase current of industrial frequency into single phase current of a higher frequency and consists in connecting the anodes of the discharge device through the primary windings 4, 5, 6 of the single phase transformer T2 to the secondary windings of the three phase transformer T1, commutating condensers 8, 9, 10 being connected across the windings 4, 5, 6. The grids are connected into two groups and are supplied at the higher frequency from a generator G. In a modification, the transformer T1 has a 6-phase secondary with a 3-phase interphase choke and condensers are connected between the ends of the phase windings and the neutral to byepass higher harmonic currents. Since the arrangement is to supply an induction furnace, the transformer T2 may be dispensed with and the induction furnace windings supplied direct. The condensers used for power factor correction can be used as commutation condensers.
